Die Schwester von Madeleine "Maddie" McCann hat in einem Stalking-Prozess gegen eine Frau ausgesagt, die sich als das 2007 verschwundene britische Mädchen ausgab und dessen Familie jahrelang belästigte.
Eine Frau beteuert, die seit 18 Jahren verschwundene Madeleine McCann zu sein.

Overview

  • Amelie McCann testified that the defendant contacted her persistently on social media, sending “creepy” messages and edited photos to claim a resemblance.
  • Kate and Gerry McCann told the court the woman made relentless contact, including up to 60 calls in one day, a doorstep confrontation, and a letter signed “Madeleine.”
  • Prosecutors told jurors there is clear evidence the defendant is not related to the McCann family despite repeated demands for a DNA test and claims of childhood memories.
  • Two women, Julia Wandelt, 24, and Karen Spragg, 61, are on trial in Leicester accused of stalking the family, and both defendants deny the allegations.
  • The pair allegedly loitered outside the McCanns’ home and tried to obtain DNA, with Wandelt arrested at Bristol Airport in February; proceedings are ongoing with no verdict yet.
